Link to the Past Sequel Officially Named The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

As always, Nintendo is full of surprises. Following the company's E3 Nintendo Direct broadcast, it uploaded a new trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

What's most interesting about this trailer, is that it confirms the name to the upcoming game, so we no longer have to call it A Link to the Past 2; it goes by the official name of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

Check out the trailer below for more footage on the game. A release date has yet to be announced, but it's safe to say it's already high on our wish-list. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

I'm a bit on the fence for this one.... I wasn't a big fan of the original ALttP, and this looks VERY similar... however, this does look pretty good. I'm just worried I'll be sick of 2D Zelda by the time this comes out, with the Oracle games and my planned replay of Link's Awakening. I'd much prefer a full, 3D Zelda on 3DS, but I'll just hope that something like that comes down the line later on in the 3DS's life cycle.

@LtAldoRaine That's exactly what I thought.This game should be quite interesting. It fits the bill for me too, as I played ALTTP on the GBA, so a handheld sequel is just right. Now all I need is a 3DS...

Hmmm, I'd rather have them stop applying the whole cartoon'ish look to handheld Zelda games. A much more darker and challenging environment is what I want, but I'm still happy with what we have so far, nonetheless. Still, I hope its level of difficulty is as high as ALTTP's
